Under rating threshold (show) I tried to use this, but the answer it gives me is (in my thinking) is wrong. I checked how fast my money grows, when i mine the best auto g/s what the game says, and tried what this program says, but the game's suggestion is always looked better to me. Please help!

Developer response from SteelGiant

Hmmm... odd. I'll see if anything has changed since I last looked. Do you have any specific examples of your pick and the game/calculator gold per second?

Under rating threshold (show) I was del with the Sapphire and Emerald question. Had my name changed. Yes, at the time I asked, I could auto-1-hit Sapphire. That's what I mean. Since I was destroying both objects at the same rate, it's weird for the calculator to say I'd have made more money on the weaker object.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from SteelGiant

Ok, that sounds odd. So just to clarify, you could 1-hit with manual clicks as well as one click with auto clicks? If you could do both then there might be a bug or something. The only other thing to check would be if all the other parameters were entered exactly right. Let me know if you find anything else.

Under rating threshold (show) I don't understand. I can 1-hit Sapphire but it's telling me Emerald will make me more money? How would dropping to weaker ore profit more... Not like my clicks are going any faster on it.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from SteelGiant

Can you 1-hit the sapphire on the auto click too? If you can't then there could be a bit of benefit to making the auto clicks twice as effective.

Under rating threshold (show) To increase your click speed drastically just turn on mouse keys (alt+shift+numlock) then press and hold the 5 and + keys to the right of your keyboard. This will net you around 80 clicks a second.

Developer response from SteelGiant

Intriguing. Thanks for the helpful tip!

Under rating threshold (show) It's realy useful. For the next upgrade, maybe, I'd like to see what ore is most efective for grinding gems too (the best of the ores you can mine in one click).

+ - !

(4)

Developer response from SteelGiant

Yeah, that is a good point, especially as if you're manually clicking, or using auto clicking software it might be less obvious exactly which one is giving the best return.

Under rating threshold (show) Nevermind, just realized that putting in your power against a stone factors that in.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from SteelGiant

Yep, that way you don't have to enter them both. I probably should have done it the other way though as that would allow you to extrapolate the effects of your upgrades more easily. Oh well.

Under rating threshold (show) This is wrong. It says that Hellstone lv.3 i the better, tough the evel 2 is better.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from SteelGiant

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner on this. Which ore is best depends on your stats. Idle Mine doesn't take into account your manual clicks, while this does, so this should always say you do more damage and earn more for better ores than the game. Let me know what your stats were and if there is a bug I'll fix it, but I think the calculator is right at the moment from all the tests I've done.

Under rating threshold (show) Hope there is a "best to upgrade next" result. For example if my auto click is 1000%, next upgrade would add only less than 1%. But if i choose to upgrade the click speed, i can get 5% over all performance. This function also should take cost into consideration. thx for click speed test haha

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from SteelGiant

Yeah, I did consider putting in things that told you the best return for investment, but I thought that would take away the strategy part of the game. This would only leave clicking, so I decided against it. I save that for my personal use :P

Under rating threshold (show) How much do the hp/armor/value multiple with for each ore type? Is it a mathematical term or is it a fixed value for every ore type? I want more stats ^^

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from SteelGiant

The named ores all increase roughly the same in terms of stats, but it is different for every level. The Hellstones up to level 32 have their stats increase by one set of factors, and above that its a different one. I got to hellstone 70 or so before chrome wiped my cookies, and hilariously it just did it again, so I can't verify if there is another set of factors above that. For hellstone 2-32 the hp defence and values all increase by 1.2, 1.5 and 1.5 respectively. For level 33 and above it goes 1.2, 1.2 and 1.35. This is all built in to the calculator though, so you don't need to do any working!

Under rating threshold (show) To SteelGiant, Yeah, near enough, i only use 25/s as it spazzes out if i go at 30. Your click counter gave me 25.13.

Developer response from SteelGiant

Interesting. There are evidently some autoclickers out there capable of doing some ridiculous clicks per second. Don't know what they are or how they work, but they are fast.

Under rating threshold (show) After calculation it seemed, that the best for me would be hellstone 32 (I used 30 as the one mining now). It showed that ~95% of my gain will be from manual. Too bad on hellstone 32 autoclick does "0" damage. Something bugged..

Under rating threshold (show) Since damage per click is (POWER*Multiplier-Defense), shouldn't we be able to enter Pick Power instead of damage per click?

+ - !

(3)

Developer response from SteelGiant

Yes. However then you would also need to enter the Active damage multiplier as well. Perhaps it would have been a better way to do things in the long run, but you need to enter two changing numbers instead of just the one. (Damage per click is actually power*multiplier*(active multiplier) - defence)

Under rating threshold (show) I use a software called Joy2Key, it allows you to assign any key on the keyboard as well as mouse click (left and right), mouse wheel (turn and click), and mouse movement, to buttons on a joystick or gamepad. It has the option to turn on automatic firing, up to a maximum of 30/s.

Developer response from SteelGiant

Does it give you the clicks per second it promises?

Under rating threshold (show) I keep getting this message: "ERROR: Current DPC is negative or broken. Check the formatting is correct." Best Ore Seen: Hellstone Lv. 70. Current Ore Mining: Hellstone Lv. 63 Damage/Click: 30,256,484.06b. Manual Clicks/Second: 8.69. Manual Click Power: 4315% Auto Click Power: 2274% Auto Clicks/Second: 13.51. Did I do something wrong?

+ - !

(3)

Developer response from SteelGiant

Hmm this is strange, I entered all your numbers and I get Hellstone Lv. 63 is best (then 62, 61 and 64). That error message comes when it doesn't like something in the damage per click box. Try re entering that and making sure there are no invisible characters in there. I just managed to break it by using ctrl+backspace which apparently leaves an invisible character in there. You should be able to fix that by clearing the box and pressing backspace and delete a lot. I'll get a new version out that more aggressively strips out any characters that could break it (I assumed flash protected against this...) Thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention!

Under rating threshold (show) "error: unable to find current ore "hellstone "" huh. Well, evidentially, whatever patch you tried to apply...'borked' it even further. Apparently, wind essence is another one of those "not worth mining unless you're one-shotting it for gems or progressing to next level" type of ores. This calculator is awesome, helping to avoid wasting time on the useless ores. :D :doublechecks that a 5-star rating has been given:

+ - !

Developer response from SteelGiant

It seems to be able to find hellstone for me no matter how I type it. You do need to put the number in it, please let me know exactly what makes it fail and I'll try and fix it. Really glad you found the calculator useful, thanks for the rating!

Feb. 02, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) according to the calculator, before darkstone is better to mine than the smaller magic cyrstyal, adamantium is more valuable to mine than either. interesting.

Developer response from SteelGiant

Yep, but don't forget to stop back and check regularly as the best ore changes as your pick gets better and your power increases. Thanks for using this!
